Hi there, I'm leveling a NS atm, and starting to think about it's final gear.
I'm a big fan of ablatives reactive procs on my ranger, but I wonder if on NS an offensive setup would do the trick: maybe 3 dots + dds. Anybody has some experience on this? Also, if old RAs ever come, I'll certainly throw in Wild Arcana, so some dots on the armor could be interesting for the chance to proc a crit. Any advice is appreciated! :)

I put you here the answer that my master Ivia once gave me, when i asked him about what reprocs i should put on my ranger armor.

shade wrote:Most people would suggest you to go with MHB mainly.

Personally, I am a big fan of DoT/DD reprocs. Think about it like this: The biggest downside of assassins is the lack of IP/PD and quite low absorb of armor (10% on leather). Their strongest plus is a combination of high-growthrate styles, high-dmg DoTs and str/con debuff which reduce your melee dmg. So, while you have a good survivability (IP, PD, RF, spec AF) as a ranger, they will constantly outdamage you.
Or put another way, every second that they live costs you at least 100hp if they play well. So killing them as fast as possible is what you should aim for, the longer the fight lasts, the likelier they are to win. They can counter your MHBs by just doing more dmg, but they cannot recover HPs that they lose.

On my nightshade I have dot procs (matter) on both weapons, a dot reproc (energy) on torso-drop and a mix of DoTs(matter)/DDs(spirit) on the rest of the armor. If you must, put MHB on torso (if you think it's too much dot), but the rest I would go for dmg.


After a few months of practice, i can say that i I do agree with his theory 100% :D
Note that his vest is the Phantom ghostly one we were talking about.

Here is my proc settings on my NS

Mainhand : DD/lifedrain depending of weapon
Offhand : DoT

Vest : DoT (ghostlysoul)
Boot : Heal
Rest : mhb

this is a nice combo of offensive/defensive proc


Sure, your figh got to be fast, anyway depending of targets it cannot always be.
ex : Thane/Reaver/paladin with high parry/block rate can't always be 3shooted.
So you need a good defense aswell, that's why you'll need some mhb to survive longer and evade more !
